“If you listen to most of what Derek Gedalecia has performed or published previously, you will always find an undercurrent of devotion to melody and the well-ordered truths of conventional music.”
Gedalecia, who releases music as Headboggle, apparently recorded himself playing a Steinway Grand Piano at SFMOMA in 2019, mixed it, and published it last month as Dual Piano. It’s a shift from the artist’s typical experimental electronic sounds, but the promotional material assures us that this should come as no surprise. But one thing is certain: You don’t need any background to appreciate the stunningly lovely, strikingly bare piano pieces contained here.
